Angle was tough to choose. Had to get enough of a low angle to keep the sky in the background while not skewing or distorting the right angles with an angle that was too extreme.

I like the way the sign contrasts with the sky, but I think you did a bit too much post processing of the color and saturation. I also find the composition to be too static.
I think this could have looked more striking with more negative space, slightly off-centre. It's a bit too tightly cropped to the bottom. An impactful shot though. [6]
